Chapter 222: Labyrinth Race
The sound of "rumbling" immediately came from the venue, and even the people sitting in the audience in the distance could feel a slight vibration under their feet.
The next moment, the scenes that most people have only seen in various videos suddenly appear vividly in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw that on the originally flat conference venue, one wall after another suddenly rose from the ground, extending like a miracle, building, and freely combining...... After a while, a huge complex labyrinth appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This ......" was speechless, ordinary people who were stunned by the scene in front of them.
"It's amazing, it's almost a blink of an eye, it's built in such a huge labyrinth, how big is this magic output." This is the opinion of the average Witcher.
"This is not the key, the key is the amazing control and tacit cooperation of the three Shi brothers over the earthly magic, this kind of energy level magic has already surpassed the A-level level, and the rank of the three people has not exceeded the A-level, this is by cooperating to improve the level of magic, this is not something that ordinary people can do." The powerful Witcher gives a more accurate evaluation.
When everyone was talking, the three Shi brothers easily stood up and patted the dust on their hands, as if they had done a trivial thing, bowed to the audience and left the venue.
At this time, Gao Yingyun, who was standing on the "platform", controlled the "platform" to fly over the maze in a timely manner.
"Thanks to the three Shi brothers of the Wild Land Demon Hunter Group for setting up this venue for the contestants, as you can see, the following labyrinth is the venue for this Demon Hunter Knowledge Quiz Competition."
Gao Yingyun began to explain the game.
"There are a total of sixty-four entrances to the maze below, and each team will be randomly assigned to enter one of the entrances."
"At the beginning of the game, my password will be used as a signal, and after I give the signal, the participants of each team must pass the many tests of the maze as fast as possible and make their way to the center of the maze."
"The exit of the maze is in the center of the maze, and the results of this competition are judged by the length of time it takes to pass the maze, and the one with the least time is the better."
"Once the competition starts, the entire maze will be isolated, and all the sounds and messages from the outside world will not be transmitted to the contestants who are in the maze."
"Alright, as I explain, the teams from the sixty-four Warlock Academies are already in place in front of the entrance, so what tests will they face in the labyrinth? Let's wait and see. ”
"I announce, the Witcher Knowledge Contest ...... Start now! ”
......
Gao Yingyun gave an order, and the sound of "whoosh" sounded from the "platform" under him, and then everyone saw a large number of small drones spraying out from the underground of the "platform" like dumplings, drawing white smoke marks in mid-air and shooting into the maze one after another.
meanwhile
Sixty-four participating teams began to rush into the maze after receiving Gao Yingyun's order, and after everyone turned around, they encountered the first test almost before and after.
...... What appeared in front of them was a three-way intersection, a drone floating quietly in front of the intersection, the drone scanned for someone approaching it, and the camera above flashed, and then projected a text to the ground:
"Which of the following options does the Witcher not need to do when exploring in the wild: A......"
Each of the three options corresponds to an arrow, each pointing to one of the roads.
The contestants who saw this scene suddenly understood the format of this quiz competition, and turned into the next intersection after choosing the answer in their minds.
Just when the contestants in the maze encountered the first problem, the large holographic projection in mid-air was divided into sixty-four screens, each of which corresponded to a team, and the drone transmitted the footage in the maze.
"Oh! I see......"
"Is this okay? It was also the first time I had seen this kind of quiz contest. ”
"It's ingenious!"
It was not until this moment that the audience finally understood that this quiz contest was actually carried out in this form, and the Chinese government put a lot of thought into the form of the competition.
This kind of maze competition is much more interesting than a simple quiz competition, and the audience can't help but shout excitedly as they watch the contestants in the maze "break through" all the way, cheering for the college they support.
Even they know that the contestants can't hear the outside world.
After a little time in the game, thoughtful viewers have already discovered that there is actually no absolute dead end in this huge and complex labyrinth.
If a team answers one of the questions incorrectly and chooses the wrong fork in the road, they will only be detoured a certain distance, which will increase the time it takes to reach their destination, and they will not have to return the same way after hitting a dead end.
But the contestants in the maze did not know this, and when they encountered a question with uncertain answers, they had no way to know whether they had made the right choice, which invisibly increased their psychological pressure.
It can be said that this new type of competition not only examines the knowledge level and cooperation ability of the participants, but also examines their psychological quality.
In this way, time passed with the cheers of the contestants and the audience.
After one hour and twenty-seven minutes of play, the first team to go through the maze was born......
...... It is the representative team of the Male Hero Witcher Academy.
Fifteen minutes later, the Renco College team also passed through the maze.
Eight minutes later, the Skyfire Demon Hunter Academy team passed through the maze.
Thirteen minutes later, the Qinglan Academy team passed through the maze.
......
The competition was more exciting than expected, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Qinglan Academy, which was originally one of the best in this competition, actually ranked fourth!!
This is something that has never happened in so many years of national competition.
The moment they saw this result, the teachers of Qinglan Academy who were sitting in the audience frowned unconsciously.
It's not that they blame their students, because they can all tell that the three students who participated in the competition have done their best and performed at the level they deserve.
They frowned because they really felt it......
...... The atmosphere of this year's national competition is indeed different from the previous ones.
Xiongying Demon Hunter Academy, Rengao Academy, and Tianhuo Demon Hunter Academy, these three are the Demon Hunter Academies ranked second only to Qinglan Academy, and this time they all climbed to the top of Qinglan Academy.
Although this is only the first competition, Cheng Wei has been keenly aware of some clues.
"Teachers, let's go back and have a short meeting after this game." Cheng Wei said in a low voice, and the rest of the teachers nodded in understanding.
